Todays storms may be to blame for a drowning in Perry County.
Three men were boating on the Ohio River near the Cannelton locks and dam.
A gust of wind reportedly sent waves crashing over the boat, causing it to fill with water and capsize.
All three men went overboard--only two came up.
The body of 29-year old Derrick Adams was recovered just after six by rescue divers.
28-year old Josh Decker of Evansville and 28-year old Ross Polen of Jasper were rescued.
Adams is from Taswell--his family arrived at the scene as his body was recovered according to the Perry County news.
